However, knowing what the 'leadership' is like, my money is that the school will continue to decline, as it has been doing since the late 90s, rather than the other way round.<BR/><BR/>As for autonomy - we had it once, with school boards of governors, now abolished in all except mission and national-type schools (my old school is probably an aberration in this regard, but it does have a long history). My alma mater has one, as well as a board of trustees, which exist pretty much in name only. Why are we re-inventing the wheel when we can go back to the tried and tested of yesteryear?<BR/><BR/>We have to choose the right leaders for such a project to work. As far as I know, no one has assessed whether the current heads are up to the job. The current trend of awarding headships of premier schools as sinecures has to be stopped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
